Beautiful artwork to accompany your pointed question. My balance comes with my understanding that all my experiences, good and bad, lead me back to who I am. Knowing myself removes all the questions about life and the direction it will take. I didn’t arrive at balance in a short decade or two. It took time. I understood when I realized that the struggle in the depth of sorrow taught me the value of joy. Since joy can be fleeting, I learned to cherish the moments of light and work diligently through the months of darkness. Somewhere in all that nebulous existence, I realized that butterflies always make me smile. I thank you for that. 🙂
